Answer:

A. $2.00

B. $26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x 49.99 = 24.995

49.99 - 24.995 = 24.995

0.08 x 24.995 = 1.9996 and round to the nearest hundredth

24.995 + 1.9996 = 26.9946

round to the nearest hundredth

What is the volume of a regular pyramid having a base area of 24 in.² and a height of 6 inches?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

48 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a pyramid is calculated as

V = \frac{1}{3} × area of base × height

here area of base = 24 and height = 6, so

V = \frac{1}{3} × 24 × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 in³
